Roundabout Comedy 

Telling a joke connected to a prior joke or topic.
At ~40m 55s in Season 1 Episode "Are We Guilty of Stealing YouTube Content" of the All In Podcast: Co-host Crayator jokes, "I'm a talker, not a setter-upper, unless I want to paint a wall and do some carpeting." This is a reference to the bit (discussion) at the beginning of the podcast where co-host Loserfruit joked that she had not believed Crayator had done the painting in his new office.

Crayator then coined the term, "Roundabout Comedy."
